I'm jealous of that stuff. I also wish I lived in your area of the world so I could get ribbon sapele like that.

thats interesting, your not the only person who compared that guitar to a Carvin...

The effect of what scientifics call "the first based opinion's impression" (also known as the human bug) on the human brain is quite incredible I must say, because if we look closer, both guitars are totally different and the shape is also totally different... :)

Tell me what is similar? The top? :D

Small selection of my personal wood porn stash. One acoustic set I can't not show off (have 3 or 4 sets) is mad quilt Sapele:

Image

Some of the quilt billets I have (random selection):
Image

Image

Quiltyspalt!
Image

Don't have shots of the v.v. nice Amboyna drop top or the flamed redwood billet (or the rosewood and coco neck blanks). Let's not get started on acoustic sets, though, because that gets a bit silly (more quilt sapele! Ziricote! Waterfall bubinga! Macassar! Malaysian blackwood!)

If you guys want to check out some wood porn, you may want to take a look at:

To bad that in 2011 they still dont understand that english could be an important language (maybe use google translate)

Patrick, I think that's way too explicit for a public forum.
Shame on you.

I JUST got this bookmatched set in today, although it's origins are Italian - it's actually "Chicago Style" but made here in Tampa - look at this grain!

Reminds me of a joke:
What's the difference between a Guitar and an extralarge Pizza?

The pizza can feed a family of 4.

Some of those pieces are so quilted they make my teeth hurt. I can't hang with you guys. This is softcore compared to some of the filth you've been posting, but here's a piece of curly spalted maple I'm stashing until my resawing skills are up to snuff.

I'll refrain from posting any of my stuff. Wouldn't want y'all to get an inferiority complex...
